Air Guns-relates to rockets

Post by Water Rocket Expert »

Hey, does anyone know how to build a spring powered pellet pistol? I need one for rocket recovery, right? Please post diagram and instructions of a link. I need it to be built from household materials and some general sold parts. Not air powered.

Thanks

Are you talking about a pistol that will get a rocket out of a tree? The main problem is creating a gun powerful enough to get the rocket down, but to not damage it. Even the most powerful of spring-piston break-barrel air guns would have trouble getting a rocket out of a tree. If your not to worried about noise, if your parents let you own a firearm, or the rocket getting damaged, I would recommend a 12 guage shot gun, with the standard velocity Remington AMM-8174 shell!

I don't care about getting it out of a tree. That is just so the forum moderator won't think I'm talking about this. Forum moderator- if you read this post, please do not kick me off this forum. Thanks.

This discussion should move to the water cooler. After all, this forum is about water rockets, not airguns.
